Trump Calls Netanyahu His Own Worst Enemy Amid Gaza Peace Plan Dispute
Former U.S. President Donald Trump recently described Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as "his own worst enemy," according to two senior American officials who spoke with Trump about Netanyahu. This comment comes amid tensions over Israel's stance on Gaza peace efforts. Earlier in the week, Netanyahu denied reports that Israel planned limited withdrawals from the Gaza Strip and rejected the 15-point peace document proposed by the Gaza Peace Council.
Trump indirectly responded to Netanyahu's rejection by sharing an article from his political rival Hillary Clinton. Despite their longstanding rivalry, Clinton expressed support for Trump's Gaza plan, calling it "irreplaceable" and the "most realistic" solution currently available. Trump echoed Clinton's endorsement, highlighting the plan as the only viable option on the table.
This exchange underscores ongoing disagreements within Israeli and American political circles regarding the approach to Gaza. Netanyahu's firm opposition contrasts with Trump's promotion of the peace initiative, which has also drawn unexpected backing from Clinton. The situation remains dynamic as Israel continues to navigate its policy toward Gaza and peace negotiations.
